Previously on Why?
ANN
She just worried about you, as I am. Look at you, have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? You don’t look good at all, are you even sleeping? I can’t believe Imade will just left you alone in all this
WEMIMO
Leave her alone, she is grieving
ANN
So are you? She is not the only one whose heart bleeds for him, yours do too, mine too.
EPISODE 134
Your
marriage is not healthy
INT.
KINGS-AFTERNOON
Inside Wemimo’s office, he sits in a meeting with
Onome, Aunty Bebii, Bintu and Tolani
WEMIMO
Next on the agenda please
Aunty
Bebii passes some files to him
AUNTY BEBII
These are the five designers selected from the first
round
Wemimo
flips through the files
WEMIMO
And these are the best?
TOLANI
Yes
WEMIMO
Okay then (Gives the document back to Aunty Bebii) I
need you to send this portfolio to Imade at the orphanage and let her select
the ones she wants
The
ladies all look at Wemimo strangely
WEMIMO
What?
The
ladies look away except Bintu
BINTU
Okay, since no one is saying anything, I will just
talk. Why on earth you sending these portfolios to Imade?
WEMIMO
Because she is our main designer
BINTU
Last I checked, she does not want to part of KINGS
anymore
WEMIMO
Imade is the CEO of KINGS, she will always be a part
of KINGS
BINTU
A CEO that is only in the name, a CEO that has not
been in her own company in over five months, even before Wemi’s demise, how can
you hand her such important responsibility
WEMIMO
You don’t tell me what to do
BINTU
It is not about telling you what to do, it is about
you holding unto her after she has abandoned you
TOLANI
Bintu, that is uncalled for
Bintu
stops talking reluctantly
TOLANI
But she is right, Wemimo, Imade has not bee…
WEMIMO
Aunty Bebii, you will do as I asked you
AUNTY BEBII
Alright, sir
WEMIMO
Any other matter?
TOLANI
Yes, these are the list of potential locations to
establish the Footwear line
Wemimo
collects the list from her
BINTU
We can’t do that here?
TOLANI
No, we barely have space for clothing
BINTU
But we are building a factory
ONOME
We don’t have resources for that yet
BINTU
So we demolished those houses for nothing
WEMIMO
Not for nothing, it is the first step but at the
moment, we need to set shop elsewhere, sister. What about the shoe designers?
TOLANI
At the moment, we are still receiving portfolios
WEMIMO
And the shoemakers?
TOLANI
Still applying
WEMIMO
We will start the footwear line small and see how it
goes but I will look into these locations and get back to you
TOLANI
Alright
WEMIMO
Anything left to be discussed
AUNTY BEBII
Nothing
WEMIMO
Then the meeting is adjourned
The ladies all stand up taking with then the documents
in their hands
WEMIMO
Sister, please wait, Aunty Bebii…
Aunty
Bebii turns to him
WEMIMO
I am trusting you to deliver those portfolios to Imade
today and you are to stay with her until she chooses the ones she want
AUNTY BEBII
Alright
The
ladies all go outside except for Tolani
TOLANI
Is everything okay? I hope mother is not causing
trouble for you at home
WEMIMO
No, she is not. Aunty Bebii told me you are trying to
reach your husband
Tolani
sigh heavily and she sits in front to him
TOLANI
Yes
WEMIMO
So? How are things between you two?
TOLANI
Not great
WEMIMO
Is he asking for a divorce?
TOLANI
At least then I know where I stand with him
He
looks at his sister in confusion
TOLANI
I haven’t spoken to him yet
WEMIMO
What?
TOLANI
Each time I call, his PA picks up the phone
WEMIMO
Maybe he is just busy
TOLANI
With what? His father lost the election
WEMIMO
Maybe he is trying to focus on his business again
TOLANI
Now you are just making excuses for him
WEMIMO
That is because I have nothing to say… sister, what
are you going to do?
TOLANI
I don’t know, maybe I will keep calling
WEMIMO
Maybe go home and check on him, you can do that you
know
TOLANI
I don’t know, Wemimo, was it right for me to go on a
break?
WEMIMO
I don’t know, sister but you were drowning in your
marriage, you were in pain and losing yourself. No one knows what would have
happened if you had stayed
TOLANI
I just miss my husband, Wemimo
WEMIMO
I know
TOLANI
And I want everything to go back to normal but I can’t
help feeling like I abandoned him when he needed me the most
WEMIMO
I say he abandoned you first, he saw what you were
going though and he did nothing to help but that does mean you should not fight
for your marriage
TOLANI
I don’t know what to do, Wemimo
WEMIMO
What is Queen telling you to do?
TOLANI
What else, she blames me for not staying by my
husband’s side when he needed me
WEMIMO
I don’t know what to say
TOLANI
I will keep calling him, I can’t go back home because
I don’t know where we are
WEMIMO
Okay but in the meantime, I hope you know you can talk
to me if you need to talk
TOLANI
(Smiles) of course
Tolani
stands up
WEMIMO
Do you want to come with me to Senator Anifowose’s
party this weekend?
TOLANI
What about Ann?
WEMIMO
I can’t go anywhere with Ann without her bringing
Imade and our issues up
TOLANI
She just wants what is best for you
WEMIMO
Yeah, but it is suffocating and I just need some peace
TOLANI
If we are talking about each other, let me ask, how
are things with you and Imade?
WEMIMO
Honestly, I don’t know, at least you can call your
husband, I can’t even call my wife. I haven’t seen her in four months, she does
not want to talk to me or hear my voice
TOLANI
Okay let me just tell you this, your marriage is not
healthy and since there is no child between you two anymore, you need to let
her go
WEMIMO
But Maami…
TOLANI
Forgive me, Maami but fuck Maami, this is your life
and Maami should not live it for you
Wemimo’s
phone rings out and he picks it
WEMIMO
Hello
Wemimo
suddenly stands up with his mouth opened
WEMIMO
What? (Pause) I saw her this morning, I was with her
this morning, oh my God!
He
drops the call and carries his bag
TOLANI
What is it, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
Iya Agba just died
TOLANI
What?
WEMIMO
I need to go
TOLANI
Of course, I will take you
WEMIMO
Thank you
They both walk out of the office
Next on Why?
ANN
Yeah, she is his mother… she was his mother, that is
normal
WEMIMO
Well, is it normal for her to leave home, to leave her family? She just took off after his burial, she didn’t even come to pack her stuff, she
just left. I can’t tell her this because I don't know how she will take it
ANN
Does the situation suck? Yes, but that does not give
you the right to keep something like this from her
